Simson Tuning (Trabant Motor) - Testfahrt mit der stärksten Simson SR2 der Welt | Dragstar

If you'd like a third video with a detailed description of the individual components, such as the clutch structure or the ignition function, please let me know in the comments! Simson SR2 with Trabant engine:    • Simson Tuning 600ccm Motor - Die stärkste ...   Simson SR2 with radial engine:    • Simson Tuning (Nitro) - Simson SR2 mit Ste...   Here's the test drive with the world's most powerful Simson SR2. Technical specifications: Simson SR2, built in 1958 Length: 3000mm with wheelie bar Weight: 95 kg Engine: Trabant 601 Power: 26 hp (still) Displacement: 600cc Top speed: 100 km/h The engine is started using a 6mm nylon rope or an external starter (an old angle grinder). Alternatively, push-starting also works. Thanks to the electronic model ignition with Hall sensors, the engine starts immediately. The ignition automatically regulates the ignition timing. The 2 kW clutch (patented by Knispel Klever!) needs to be reworked (new linings). However, it has the power to transfer the engine's power to the rear wheel. The clutch works from 0-35 km/h. From 35 km/h (22 mph), the clutch can be released; the engine now idles, practically waiting for acceleration to 100 km/h (62 mph). This saves annoying gear changes and time. The wheelie bar keeps the front wheel down, but the front wheel starts to wobble and shake violently when decelerating. The center of gravity of the SR2 is probably too far toward the rear wheel. Riding without the wheelie bar is okay, although the SR2 has excellent straight-line performance. It doesn't like cornering at all due to the wide rear wheel. Fuel is used at 1:33, which is exactly what the old engine requires. Adding 5 to 10% nitromethane significantly increases engine power (over 20%, the cylinders bottom out the cylinder head and land in the front wheel, making steering impossible). Adding two tuned exhaust pipes makes 60 horsepower possible. All in all, a showpiece with acceleration potential. Inquiries: [email protected] It was winter, my dad was smoking a cigarette on our balcony when I asked him something. After receiving an answer, I instinctively closed the balcony door and went to my room to play FIFA... and anyone who's ever played FIFA knows that you can't leave your room for quite some time afterward. After about 15 minutes, the power went out. I went into our living room to ask Dad if his power had gone out too... and then I saw him, half-frozen, standing in front of the balcony door with a big grin. He had caused a power outage in the entire apartment building with a lighter and the things he had left on our balcony. When I opened the door, he just said, as if nothing had happened: Knispel klever! Knispel klever! Ever since I was little, I've heard these words from my dad whenever he found a solution to a problem. He's the kind of person who puts countless hours into one of his projects, like building a model airplane, faithfully rebuilding it with every detail, only to let it fly for five minutes and then blow it up. My dad works with so much passion and dedication that it would be a shame not to share his talent with the world. So I hope you enjoy his projects as much as I do.
